Too Jazzy for you? Last weekend I cleaned my Mother-in-law's Honda Jazz, which clearly hasn't seen a wash mitt in a looooong time! I was very satisfied how this came, especially the child seat and the alloys. My Mother-in-law was astounded when she saw the finished product and couldn't believe it was the same car 👌🏽.

Oh, picture five was the state of my forearm after cleaning the rear arches which were caked in grime in the lip of the inner arch. Also picture 7 of the fuel filler flap, I wish I had taken a before picture as it was BLACK!

A clean I thought I had posted but clearly didn't get around to. Two weekends ago I had this 'Spirit Green' Kia Xceed in for a full valet. On the whole an enjoyable valet although I was slowed down massively by a plethora of tar spots that took a long time to break down.

I was very pleased with overall outcome and extremely satisfied with how well the seats came out. They pretty much brand new thanks to a spray of Inni and application of my new steam cleaner.

I would tag all the products used, but recently Insta glitches when I do that, and I have to start the entire post again 🙄. If you have any questions on the products let me know 👌🏽.

Waving goodbye to the : The INSTER has been a pleasurable car to spend time with. It's quirky, drives well, well equipped, surprisingly spacious and definitely has its own charm about it. Yes, plenty have been swooning over the new Renault 5 E-Tech, but don't discredit the INSTER...

Day 7 in the : This car has been full of surprises and one of them is the sound system. For a small car that's more about value than being the last world in luxury, the sound system is more punchy than I expected, as is the bass.

Day 6 in the : Today was all about filming it and although it was a long day, thankfully I had the weather for it. I'm grateful for this as originally it was forecast to rain all morning.

I was hoping to do some bits on my insta story today, but I didn't get the time I'm afraid. I'll try and do some bits tomorrow as the car goes back Wednesday.

Day 5 in the : Let's talk charging 🔋. Using a 7kW charger you'll get the battery from 10%-100% in 6 hours 5 minutes for the 42kWh and 6 hours 44 minutes for the 49kWh battery.

Both batteries will go from 10-80% in 55 minutes using a 50kW charger and 30 minutes using a 150kW charger.

If using a granny charger (3 pin socket) the 42kWh battery will take 16 hours 58 minutes to get from 10-100% and 19 hours 31 minutes for the 49kWH battery. As well as the gauge on the 10.25" driver's display, the lights on the steering also show the charging status.

Day 4 in the : Despite its small dimensions, the INSTER is more spacious than you may expect. Even with the driver's seat set for my height if 6'2" there plenty in the way of legroom and knee room (rear seat slid all the way back) and the headroom is agreeable, too.

The 02 trim level boasts rear seats the slide back and forth (they also recline) meaning the boot space ranges from 238-351 litres.

Day 3 in the : Something a little different, I've taken a press car on a family holiday to Camber Sands. I was so impressed by the interior space that I wondered if this small but perfectly formed car was actually able to swallow enough luggage for a family weekend away. How did it do? Well at some point, a YouTube video will reveal all...

Day 2 in the : Like the Santa Fe I had before this, the INSTER divides opinion. I like it, it's bold and quirky, plus I think the Dusk Blue matte paint looks fantastic! Ok, the interior is a bit bland compared to the Renault 5 E-Tech, but it's far from offensive.

The Hyundai Santa Fe has gone, but in its place I have this, the new . It's a small, quirky crossover that may look small, but it's deceptively big inside.

Saying goodbye to the : My time with the Santa Fe was easygoing and pleasant. It's spacious, practical, well-thought out, well-equipped, and comfortable.

OK, so the looks won't be for everyone but if you can look past that you've got a solid family car on your hands.

Day 7 in the : In the AWD Hybrid version you can expect up to 38.2mpg on a combined run, and whilst I had the car I was able to muster 35.3mpg. far from groundbreaking, but don't forget you also have the choice of a plug in Hybrid.
